Chinese New Year Extravaganza

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all!! :D I'd just returned home from the most extravagant Chinese New Year I've ever had so far in 17 years and a few months of my life. Two days before chu yi (first day of CNY), I had a family dinner at a Japanese restaurant along East Coast road. We got the VIP room ^^. The room was really cosy and cool and we had to take our shoes off. Dinner was fabulous, I could barely walk back to the car after that. I was SO full!

On the morning of chu yi, I woke up at 7.15am to go bai nian (visiting). After going to 5 houses, we left for Swissotel, The Stamford. My dad booked two rooms and we're gonna spend the night there! Then for lunch, I had french crepe with peking duck and prawns inside. Super nice! Ate till bursting point too. Dinner was sliced beef on a hot plate. Then we took a walk around River Hongbao to digest our food. It was SO crowded!

(Lovely view from the hotel room balcony. I look kinda spastic... =/ Yuck..)

I slept in late the next morning and woke up in time for lunch =X which I had in Mos Burger with my sister. After which we slacked around before going for high tea in the hotel. Had hot chocolate with sandwiches, tarts and puffs. And then... I bought TWO books!! Oh joy!! I was SO grateful that MPH remained open during this festive occasion XD Then I met up with my clique from MJ - Doris, Pris and Sabby.

We then proceeded to have dinner at... New York New York!! I'd always wanted to eat there! And it's my first time dining at a restaurant with friends!!

Group picture!! We chose a nice little cosy alcove for our seats!

Candy Floss!!! =D

Sabby studying the menu most intently.

Here's our food!! And that's my London Fish 'n Chips there!

More candy floss!!

Fireworks!! Beautiful aren't they?

More fireworks!!

Acting spastic and ridiculous in such a romantic place! Esplanade Waterfront. Lolx!

Say "Cheese!" =D
And this marks the end of our insane, fun-filled wacky CNY celebration for today!! Tomorrow I gotta get up for another round of visiting, THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' DAY until night time, where I'd be having seafood dinner at East Coast with my dad's company.

My homework. Oh the horror, I haven't done a single bit of homework. Empty parchments! I mean foolscap paper. But all empty nonetheless!! I am so screwed :(
